WATCHING A TAKEOVER
When a company is taken over by another firm in the same field, and it was doing well before the takeover, it will do less well afterwards. If it was not doing well before the takeover, its future will be about as murky as before--or a little more so.

PLAYING POOL
In a game of eight ball, let your opponent sink half his balls before you sink your first. That way, your balls will interfere with his shooting, but his balls won't be there to interfere with your shooting.
